As I have experience with both the smaller round readers and the larger one that Ellie makes, the smaller round reader works fine in mirrors that are not low to the ground. I usually place two or three of the smaller ones at different locations in a mirror. As the Tesla M3 is low to the ground, the larger one works better for me. People using the mirror cards have both hands on the wheel and are not districted with looking for a gate card so I would suggest that people using mirror gate cards are not the ones hitting the curb.

Watch the video of using the gate card in my Honda CRV
